The children have really enjoyed learning about an famous artist called Vincent Van Gogh and using oil pastels to re-create one of his famous paintings ‘Sunflowers’.

The child explored four ways to stay healthy and enjoyed taking part in the different activities. Looking at food, exercise, dental hygiene and ways to wash their hands.

Spring Term 2018

Throughout the term we have been learning about ‘The battle of Boldon Hill’. We enjoyed performing our class assembly and learning about castles. We are castle experts now!

We enjoyed dressing up for world book day and loved that our parents could join us!

We have also learned about the Japanese festival Obon where we got to make sushi! Most of us didn’t like it though!!

We learned about our emotions using the movie Inside Out to help us understand that it’s ok to be sad, happy or angry! We then met a therapy pony.

Meccanno came in as part of our Science Week and we made some models!

Autumn Term 2017

In Year 1 we have enjoyed reading many fiction books, including Detective Dog, Dogger, Knuffle Bunny, The Tiger That Came to Tea and The Everywhere Bear. The Everywhere Bear has been our main text that we have explored. The story has inspired us to go to Build a Bear and design our very own class bears, Zak and Belle and visit Newcastle City Library. We thoroughly enjoy listening to the children’s adventures with the bears at home.

We have also been looking at our local area and discussing the buildings and their purposes. We have designed some of these buildings within our D&T and art lessons, and displayed them within our classrooms.
